Why not go Tascam > Laptop direct with something like a VX2? One less link in your chain.
I tried to google a vx2 and getting to many results that is not related. I did a search here for the VX2 on taper section and really did not get any results. Did you have any more inffo.
Thanks
Am I missing something? If you will only use this for transfers at home, when you have AC power, there's no requirement to go for a PCMCIA card. You can just pick up any external USB soundcard with SPDIF-in.
Like the TerraTec Aureon 5.1 USB, selling on Ebay for $70:

Of course the Digigram gear is sweet, but if you're not going to use it in the field you'd get better value by going for an external card.
